博物馆过时了吗？屏幕让它们失去吸引力了吗？恰恰相反。博物馆的数量已从1975年的2.2万座增加到今天的近10万座。重磅展览几乎场场爆满，各大博物馆每年的参观人数都在不断刷新记录。
《艺术新闻》（The Art Newspaper）收集的数据显示，巴黎卢浮宫是参观人数最多的博物馆，2023年的参观人数超过880万，梵蒂冈博物馆、大英博物馆、纽约大都会艺术博物馆和韩国国立中央博物馆的参观人数排全球前列。越来越多的城市希望充分利用这些享有盛誉的场馆所带来的影响力。短短几十年里，博物馆发生了深刻变革。在文艺复兴时期的欧洲，博物馆最初旨在向少数特权阶层展示王公贵族的收藏品，但后来变得更加民主。美术和历史早已不再是博物馆唯一的专业领域。为了吸引更多参观者，博物馆果断做出改变，积极利用数字技术，有时甚至从根本上改变了参观者的体验。尽管在归还殖民时期所获文物的问题上仍存在激烈争论，但博物馆已然开始做出调整，以反映当下人们的关切，越来越多地为女性艺术家们举办展览，并根据当前的争论议题和原住民的需求修改策展方式。在2024年，参观博物馆仍然是一种特殊的、广受欢迎的体验，无可媲美。

Are museums outdated? Have screens made them old-fashioned? Quite the opposite. The number of museums has risen from 22,000 in 1975 to nearly 100,000 today. Blockbuster exhibitions are almost always full and the major museums continue to break visitor records every year.
The Louvre in Paris tops the list, with no fewer than 8.8 million visitors in 2023, followed by the Vatican, the British Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York and the National Museum of the Republic of Korea, according to data collected by The Art Newspaper. And more and more cities want to make the most of the influence conferred by these prestigious venues.It has to be said that in the space of just a few decades, museums have undergone a profound transformation. Originally created to present princely and royal collections in Renaissance Europe to a privileged few, museums have since become much more democratic. Fine art and history have long since ceased to be their only fields of expertise. To attract new audiences, museums have not hesitated to convert to digital technologies, sometimes radically transforming the visitor experience.And even if heated arguments remain about the return of objects acquired during the colonial period, museums have adapted to reflect the concerns of the time, increasingly opening their exhibitions to women artists and revising their curatorial approach in the light of current debates, and the demands of indigenous populations.In 2024, going to a museum is still a special, widely appreciated experience. There’s nothing quite like it.https://courier.unesco.org/enDownload the Digital Version:https://unesdoc.unesco.org/ark:/48223/pf0000391446_engIn Chinese: https://courier.unesco.org/zh/subscribeIn English: https://courier.unesco.org/en/subscribe(Please open the links in your browser)©️该文章及图片版权归联合国教科文《信使》杂志所有
